It is often said that in a healthy relationship one gives without expecting anything in return. However, there are people who are distressed and have a hard time observing how they offer love and affection all the time to the couple and do not receive anything in return.
In the following article we give you some guidelines to know if, really, you receive more than you usually give within the couple.
How to know if you receive more than you give within the couple
Many people are not fully aware that in their relationship, they are continually receiving displays of affection and affection, without giving anything in return. There are a number of signs that can indicate this:
- The initiative is only taken by one of the parties either when planning vacations or when doing some idle activity. With the passage of time, one of the parts of the couple notices and problems appear. One of the parties cannot be allowed to show interest in everything and the other to have such reluctance that it ends up harming the good future of the couple.
- It is normal that with the passage of time, there is some other conflict or fight. If this happens, it is normal for both parties to do everything possible to find some kind of solution that benefits the relationship. Nevertheless, it may happen that one of the parties ends up crossing their arms and he hopes that his partner is the one who ends up solving the thing. Pasotism is not good for any relationship or healthy.
- Anyone in a relationship likes to be surprised by their partner every now and then with a romantic surprise. This is key when it comes to keeping the flame of love burning. Watching the years go by and hardly receiving romantic details, it stops the relationship from moving forward and stagnates in a dangerous way. You do not have to settle in and have some kind of detail every so often that helps the couple to know that love is alive.
What are the consequences of receiving and not giving in a couple
There are a series of consequences in the case of receiving and not giving anything in a couple:
- It is a matter of time before the other part of the couple ends up getting tired and fights and conflicts begin. Stamina has a limit and if it is reached, the relationship may come to an end.
- Spending all the time and not giving any kind of affection can negatively affect the emotional state of the couple. Confidence and self-esteem are on the ground, which is not good for the couple to continue.
Ultimately, it is not worth being involved in a relationship in which you receive nothing despite giving everything to the other person. The couple is not a competition, but there must be involvement of the parties so that everything goes smoothly and that relationship is as healthy as possible.
